Simulated Annealing is a technique for finding good solutions to tough problems. It's like trying different temperatures to shape a metal perfectly. At first, it allows big changes (high temperature), even if they seem wrong, to explore different options. Gradually, it cools down (lowers the temperature), making smaller, more careful adjustments. This process helps avoid getting stuck with a not-so-great solution (local optimum) and aims for a better one, although it might not always be the best possible (global optimum).
